Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

How To Show Your Support When A Loved One Passes Away

By Brad Romeo

Coping with a death in the family can be one of the most painful and stressful moments in a person's life. As with any passing, many loved ones might be devasted by the loss and in need of comfort and guidance.

It is really hard to see our love ones suffer. While they suffer the people around them could hardly bear to see them. This is more difficult than death itself.

A comforting hug and heartfelt sympathies can do wonders to someone dealing with a loss. It serves to remind them that although their loved one is gone, they are not alone in this world. Being there for your family, helping out with the funeral preparation and arrangement, is a solid way to show your support.

Dealing with a loved one's passing can be very uncomfortable. The transition from having them in your life to knowing there will never be a day again that you'll see them, is very hard. But everyone passes from this earth eventually. Just remember that it is normal to adjust to their absence. The important thing is your family needs you and you are there for them.

A great way of celebrating the life of the deceased is through flowers. When selecting a flower arrangement, choose one that best describes the person while they were alive.

For people who are active in life, you may want to choose daisies or lilies, while for those who are calm and reserve, a white rose may be the flower of choice. Spend some time to choose properly.

A death in a family is never easy, but it helps to remember, that life is temporary. Each of us will eventually leave this earth.

What's important is to give each other love and support and to do what your loved one would have wanted. That is, to go on living.
